Title: Sap variants and their use
Inventor: WILLETT W SCOTT
IPC: A61P29/00
Filed: 2010-06-17
Abstract: Polypeptides are susceptible to denaturation or enzymatic degradation in the blood, liver or kidney. Due to the low stability of some polypeptides, it has been required to administer polypeptide drugs in a sustained frequency to a subject in order to maintain an effective plasma concentration of the active substance. Furthermore, pharmaceutical compositions of therapeutic peptides preferably have a shelf- life of several years in order to be suitable for common use. However, peptide compositions are inherently unstable due to sensitivity towards chemical and physical degradation. In part, the invention provides SAP variant proteins, compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and formulations having a prolonged in vivo half-life, prolonged shelf-life, or rather increased in vitro stability, or increased manufacturing efficiency compared to human SAP. Advantages of increased plasma half-life include, but are not limited to, reducing the amount and/or frequency of dosing.

Abstract: A packaging machine of the type that is used to hand-wrap a package with a stretchable film that is heat-fused/seaied. The machine includes a supply of film for wrapping a package and a hot plate mechanism for heat fusing the film after the package is wrapped. The hot piate mechanism includes a fever arm that moves a sealing platform from a raised position to a lowered, heat sealing position when the package is piaced on the platform. A control circuit energizes a heating element forming part of the seaiing platform and causes it to reach a desired heating temperature in 2 to 4 seconds, whereby fusing of the sealing film is achieved. An interval timer is used to control a signaling device such as a light to Indicate the machine is in a heating cycle. A separate timer, in conjunction with a temperature sensing thermistor, controls a length of time the heating element is energized and terminates power to the heating element prior to the end of a sealing Interval if a predetermined temperature is exceeded. The sealing intervals are selectable by the operator using a muiti- pos?tioned switch which connects selected timing resistors to the interval timers. Power to the heating element is only delivered to the heating element during a heating cycle, thus conserving electrical power,

Abstract: The mechanism by which the high bone mass (HBM) mutation (G171V) of the Wnt coreceptor LRP5 regulates the canonical Wnt signaling was investigated. The mutation was previously shown to reduce Dkk protein- 1-mediated antagonism, suggesting that the first YWTD repeat domain where G171 is located may be responsible for Dkk protein- mediated antagonism. However, we found that the third YWTD repeat, but not the first repeat domain, is required for DKK1-mediated antagonism. Instead, we found that the G171V mutation disrupted the interaction of LRP5 with Mesd, a chaperon protein for LRP5/6 molecules on the cell surface. Although the reduction in the level of cell surface LRP5 molecules led to a reduction in Wnt signaling in a praracrine paradigm, the mutation did not appear to affect the activity of coexpressed Wnt in an autocrine paradigm. Together with the observation that osteoblast cells produce autorcine canonical Wnt, Wnt7b, and that osteocytes produce paracrine Dkk1, we believe that the G171V mutation may cause an incrase in Wnt activity in osteoblasts by reducing the number of targets for paracrine Dkk1 to antagonize without affecting the activity of autocrine Wnt.

Abstract: A method for facilitating removal of mercury from a primary fluid stream of interest which is contaminated with organically-bound, elemental, and ionic mercury species. The stream is analyzed to establish the relative content of the organically-bound, elemental, and ionic mercury species present therein by forming a diverted side stream from the primary stream, and passing the side stream successively through three in series filter stages, the first captures organically bound mercury, the second captures elemental mercury, and the third captures ionic mercury. The side stream flow through the filter stages is continued for a predetermined period, and upon conclusion of the period the quantity of mercury collected at each of the filtration stages is determined This data is then utilized to determine the capacity of the three different filtration stages required to reduce the mercury content in the mam stream to a desired level.
